Barcelona central defender Araujo, in the match between Barcelona and Valencia, once again created a penalty opportunity for the opponent, in recent times, Araujo's performance has indeed not been recognized by the Barcelona management, so when Araujo has various problems, the Barcelona management has more ideas about selling Araujo.
So why Araujo has a low-level performance, there are only two possibilities now, either he wants to renew his contract with a salary increase, or he plans to leave, just look at his annual salary.
Strictly speaking, Araujo is not a La Masia player, because he entered the Barcelona B team in 2018, and in the absence of personnel in the Barcelona first team, Araujo quickly came off the bench and became famous, gradually sitting on the main force of Barcelona, and the annual salary has also been greatly increased.
Before that, Araujo's annual salary was only a measly 900,000 euros, and when Araujo entered the first team, Barcelona offered three times his annual salary, which seems to be a lot, but compared to 900,000 annual salary. Now Araujo's annual salary is 3.36 million [7.7 million before tax], can such an annual salary be able to keep Araujo?
Salary increase and contract renewal
Currently, Araujo's contract with Barça expires in 2026. It stands to reason that Araujo will only enter his contract year next summer, and this is the best chance to offer a contract extension and a salary increase.
But it can be seen that others can renew their contracts with a salary increase in the contract year, and Araujo still has to take a low salary to last until next year, maybe next summer, Barcelona will start to sell Araujo It is not known, so this summer is also an important reason why Araujo wants to raise his salary and renew his contract.
I still remember that at the beginning of the season, Araujo said that he wanted to stay at Barcelona all the time, and he would not be disturbed by the rumors from the outside world, but now it can be proved that Araujo has wavered, because Barcelona has given Araujo the idea and opportunity to waver. That was the choice to leave Barcelona.
leave
In the past six months or so, Araujo has repeatedly expressed through various channels that he wants to stay at Barcelona, but Barcelona is even indifferent and has not proposed any news of renewing his contract and raising his salary with Araujo. This proves that Barcelona does not want Araujo to stay at Barca, in other words, Barca still wants Araujo to be sold for cash. This has attracted the attention of teams such as Bayern Munich and Manchester United.
Bayern has always wanted to sign Araujo, although Barcelona said on the surface that Araujo is not for sale, but in fact, Bayern's transfer fee of 80 million euros did not meet Barcelona's psychological goals, so they will say the reason for shirking. And now Manchester United are also in the race for Araujo.
At this time, Araujo's painting style has changed abruptly, that is, he does not rule out the possibility of leaving, which is understandable, Araujo is 25 years old, this is his peak thing, at this time, getting a big contract, it is very hopeful for Araujo, because in the years in Barcelona, from 900,000 to 3.36 million, such a salary really cannot match Araujo's current performance on the field.
summary
When the player has more ideas because of salary increases, contract renewals and departures, the first one must be to interfere with his work on the field, so the mistakes during this period have a certain relationship with the rumors of the outside world, De Jong is because Barcelona wants to sell him many times, and it has a certain relationship with the salary, so he will be interfered with too much on the field, and injuries continue, think about it, has De Jong had any injuries before?
Now it is very obvious that Barcelona wants to cash in by selling Araujo, and Araujo does not rule out the idea of leaving, unless Barcelona changes his mind and renews his contract with Araujo with a salary increase, otherwise this summer, the world's first defender in the Barcelona team will leave the team.
